tommy cross should retire and run development camp except none of the prospects would actually develop.

Shoulda invited Blake Clarke

 

[bruinmann77]

wow your not kidding thanks

 

[KuralySnipes]

Development camp is free, correct?

Development camp is free, correct?

Yes.

 

[Artemis]

What TP said, but if you want to spend more than a few minutes, don't wear shorts, a T-shirt and flip-flops.

It's also a good idea to check the Bruins website for possible schedule changes before you go.

 

[Morris Wanchuk]

In other news, Tommy Cross has taken a job with the BC development office.

 

[Artemis]

Oleg Yevenko is pretty big

This is obviously a canard. I have it on good authority that the Bruins are only interested in small, soft players.

 

[rcduthie77]

Keep an eye on:

Oleg Yevenko; Big, tough, physical defensive defenceman, appeared in all 8 games for Belarus in the 2014 WHC, could be some potential there.

Alex Globke; Led Lake Superior State in scoring as a freshman and has a bit of size to go with the offensive talent 6'2'' 200.

Simon Norberg; This one is strange, kid plays in Leksand's U20 team but is coming to Bruins development camp. Bruins must see something in him, just for that alone I'd keep an eye on him.

Nothing in Boston this year because construction, I guess?

Development Camp is always at Wilmington.

Guess I'm getting mixed up with training camp & post-lockout years. Thought they did a showcase day at the Garden for D-camp too.

Jesus...I hope this kid makes the team down in Prov. Absolute monster.

yah, it gets kind of funky during training camp where four or so days early the kids are in Wilmington and then the big boys show up and it goes to the Garden, and they have that split open to the public thing on the weekend.

Smart kid, knows what it will take to make it:

Oleg could learn a lot from Zdeno in camp and work his way up in Providence. Would be a great long-term signing. 6'7, 250pds --could be a 3rd pairing shut-down Dman down the road as he is certainly young enough still to develop into that big body of his.

 

[DominicT]

Shoulda invited Blake Clarke

Wings camp July 3-8 so still a chance. Man they have a huge camp.

Ryan Van Stralen is the guy I want invited. Colt would love this guy. But he's at Sens camp from July 1-7 - so still a chance there too

Indeed I would. You mentioned him a couple of years ago so I followed him and he really blossomed this year, eh?

Yep. Guy would be a tremendous 4th liner. Big, will drop the gloves with anyone but more importantly has some skill.

Breen and Oleg both at 6'7. Potential ceiling could be pretty good. Both could learn A LOT from Z.

They could be coming in (on the 3rd pairing) in 3 years while Chara is going out --it would keep that massive reach/punishment on the PK going.

 

[Mione134]

Oleg made an impression at the Devils camp last year. Hopefully he does well here too. Prov could use him.
